Description

Series 3 contains assorted records of and about Nancye Kent Perry's career as an entomologist. The records include correspondence, reports, index cards, notes, papers and draft papers, field notebooks, photographs, memoranda, publications and items of equipment.

The main subject matter of the records in this series is the Sirex woodwasp, a subject on which Nancye Perry carried out research at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and the Commonwealth Health Department's Plant Quarantine Division. The Sirex woodwasp looks to have been the subject of an unsubmitted thesis written by Nancye Perry. This thesis, along with related records, is extant in Series 3.

Other research projects and subjects documented in Series 3 include the Murray Valley Encephalitis outbreak and the Hylotrupes bajulus L. (House Longhorn Borer beetle). Series 3 also contains correspondence with Alfred Dunbavin Butcher, Director of the Fisheries and Wildlife Branch of the Victorian Chief Secretary's Department, dated 1956.

Researchers interested in the records in this series may also wish to view MS 13993, which contains further records created by Nancye Perry (24 boxes). For more information, enquire with the staff at the State Library of Victoria.
